I've got all the usual suspects since 2000. And whereas there have been other deeply disapointing things (the last twenty minutes against Burnley for all the reasons mentioned, driving back from Wigan with them up and us not) Walsall was just so, so depressing. We stayed over in Cardiff (I had plann...
You're made of sterner stuff than me if you're not excited about the revolution. Sure, it may all turn to sh1t and we end up in a relegation battle. But for now, the prospect of all the new boys, the youngsters and a few well seasoned pros. Plus the prospect of seeing if a confident and ambitious ma...
It really feels to me that we’re a couple of signings away from an awesome team. Two lapses of concentration and a fluke goalkeeping error were what undid us today. Apart from the first ten minutes of the second half we looked nine tenths there towards being of a really excellent side. I’m feeling p...
Ayr United fan as a boy (early 80s), then moved to North East and went to Roker Park or St. James', lived in Brighton (mid 80s) and went to the Goldstone, brother used to live in leeds and went to Elland Road. Moved to Reading December 31st 1999. First game (out of curiosity) March 2000. STH since 2...
Your're a strange chap royalee. One minute I think you spout some of the worst rubbish on here (diatribes against Sir Steve). Next minute I'm inspired by your vision about Rodgers. I like you more when you talk about he future rather than the past. Three games into a massive and much needed change f...
Well, maybe it’s just me, but I enjoyed that. I get a bit bored of winning all the time. If it’s Christmas every day, it’s no fun anymore. I felt more involved tonight – every time the Swans attacked it mattered. I have faith. I love this club. I chose to support my local team, not because they were...
Surley one of the greatest singings in the club's history. The club's scouting network found a promising young player off football's beaten track. For a stupendously low fee, we sign you - one for the years to come, we all thought. But opportunity in the form of injury presented itself, and you took...
£4 million was available for Lescott. When he chose Everon, Coppell didn't just find the next best layer to spend it on, it went back into the kitty. The money, for the right players at the right price, was there, in proportion to where we were as a club. That's now less, as next year if we miss pro...
Player of the season until November this year - total waste of a good shirt thereafter. When he arrived at Reading his role was coming on for Bobby in the last 15, just to run at the opposition and annoy them. Somehow he developed into an (intermittently) good player. Then developed far too high an ...
